was the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Every creature was stirring with
joystick or mouse.
The 1541 was humming, but its speed was a bore;
I knew by the wait it had to be a Commodore.
The kids were all snuggled by the monitor’s bright glow
While multicolored sprites danced to and fro.
I’d just settled down for a long winter’s nap,
Waiting for Rambo to load and some bad guys to zap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I glanced at my drive to see what was the matter.
I could tell by the glare of its steady red light
It was still sending data; at least it was all right.
I ran to the window, banged my head on the sash
(The kids continued to play and ignored the loud crash),
When what to my watering eyes did appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver who handled his team
As lively and smoothly as machine language routine.
Though they looped through the heavens, he was never
space sick,
Yet I get quite queasy just debugging BASIC.
His eyes—how they twinkled; his waist was not slim.
For a moment he reminded me ofa Butterfield named Jim.
He shouldered his pack, though it was quite a chore,
Then trod ’cross my lawn and burst open the door.
I gasped in amazement (he no doubt thought me a jerk),
But he ignored us completely and went straight to his work.
He placed gifts ’neath our tree after clearing a place;
The kids—paying him no heed—blasted aliens from space.
He brought Bard's Tale, and Krynn, Seven Cities of Gold—
Great software titles, both new ones and old.
There was SuperBase and EasyScript, and what did I
detect?
There was even a hard drive from the folks at Xetec!
He unpacked extra RAM, CPUs, and such things,
Plus a mysterious black box that made my floppy drive zing.
Then a wrapped gift he handed me; it wasn’t a weighty one,
But I knew in a moment "twas a new 1581!
Modems and monitors he pulled out of his sack
And even a plotter I made him take back.
But one gift he gave me I couldn’t dispute:
A lifetime subscription to the revamped COMPUTE.
The jolly elf chuckled as he made for the door.
But he stopped, turned, and asked if there was any-
thing more.
I booted up SpeedScript on my wife’s 128
And dashed off a missive, praying I wasn’t too late.
Though it’s scratched, dinged, and dented, and sometimes
quite slow,
My 64’s a delight that others should know.
*Twould be such a pity to walk into a store,
Only to be told, “It’s not made anymore.”
So before Santa left on this magical night,
I pressed a note in his hand and squeezed it real tight.
“Take this message to Commodore in West Chester, PA.
It says, ‘Keep the 64s coming, guys, at least through next
May.’”
“Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!”
Up to the garage-top the coursers did loop
And turned a neat figure eight past our basketball hoop.
As they flew to the north past my satellite dish,
I was hoping that Commodore would grant my last wish.
But even ifit didn’t, I was still brimming with cheer
Because finally tonight I’d learned the names of those deer.
Rambo was still loading on my old 64
As I reentered the house and closed the front door.
A carol was playing on our stereo SID,
And the kids were apologizing for something they did.
I went to the window and gazed into the night,
But something caught my attention and gave me a fright.
Santa’s last gift rested there on the sill.
I opened it up; *twas a credit card bill.

NEWS & NOTES
Not
Dead
Yet
Upon hearing a rumor that he
was dead, Mark Twain once
quipped,“The reports of my
death are greatly exaggerated.”
Similar rumors abound about the
demise of the 64, and they’ve
been circulating throughout user
groups across the country and in
their newsletters. In order to seek
out the truth, Gazette contacted
Charles Russell, Commodore’s
national marketing manager for
consumer electronics, and put the
question to him. His answer was
almost as succinct as Twain’s:
“The 64 is in production and still
going as usual.”
TOM NETSEL
Meanwhile,
Back in the
Dungeon
Dragons of Flame is the most
recent release for the Commo-
dore 64/128 from Strategic
Simulations.
The second Advanced Dun-
geons & Dragons action game to
take place in TSR’s Dragonlance
game world, Dragons of Flame
($19.95) challenges you to save
the world of Krynn from Takhisis,
the Queen of Darkness. You lead
eight “Companions of the Lance”
through the land of Dragonlance,
acquiring valuable allies in your
quest.
Dragons of Flame is available
from Electronic Arts (1810 Gate-
way Drive, San Mateo, California
94404), distributed under its affili-
ated label program.

A further indication that there's still life in the 64 is a new service Com-
modore has announced for its 8-bit computer.
Commodore Express, a Commodore/Federal Express joint ven-
ture, offers a 24-hour toll-free “helpline” and door-to-door customer
service for owners of the 64 and Commodore’s MS-DOS-compatible
Select Edition computers. This protection service was introduced
earlier in the year for Amiga 500 owners.
Commodore Express is part of a new customer service package
designed with the home computer user in mind. It offers free pick-up
and return delivery for in-warranty repairs, plus free telephone assis-
tance to help users set up and operate their computers. The Commo-
dore Express contact number is (800) 448-9987.
According to Tom Kilcoyne, Commodore's director of consumer
marketing, in the first two months of the program, 75 percent of the in-
coming calls were serviceable over the telephone, and the average
turnaround time on Federal Express pick-up/delivery has been 48 hours.

THREE GERMAN IMPORTS—A HAND-
HELD SCANNER, A DESKTOP PUBLISHING
CARTRIDGE, AND A CHARACTER
EDITOR—MAY CHANGE YOUR MIND
ABOUT DESKTOP PUBLISHING ON THE 64.
esktop publishing and the 64? Anyone who has per-
formed professional-level desktop publishing could be
excused for doing a double-take. The fact is that the 64
only has one drawback when it comes to placing graph-
ics and formatted text on paper: its severely restricted memory.
In the days when the 64 was first introduced, memory
was not a problem. Most programs were text-based and
RAM-frugal. New users were grateful to have any graphics
capability at all. A lack of memory is the root cause of much
of what is good and bad about the 64. On the one hand, there
isn’t much room for storing data and code when they aren’t
in use, which means that they must reside on disk. On the
other hand, tight memory restrictions make programmers
more efficient. Sloppy programmers don’t last long in the
Commodore arena. They quickly move on to the world of
the PC, whre owners are programmed to add megabytes of
memory at a whim. The 64 has no space to waste. >
Bo IX -B. Y
DeENG \E MBER 1.919) 0 COMPUTE G7
While the memory continues to
be a roadblock, the processor is a good
one. Most people unfamiliar with the
Commodore 8-bit line have missed.
out on the fact that the 6510 is actual-
ly a very capable chip.
One solution to the RAM prob-
lem is geoRAM, which was reviewed
in these pages about a year ago.
Scanntronik’s Pagefox, a desktop pub-
lishing package newly imported from
Germany, takes a similar approach by
providing an additional 100K of
RAM for its own use. Pagefox avoids
yet another of the 64’s drawbacks by
coming etched in the ROM of the
same cartridge that contains the ex-
panded memory. This avoids the ne-
cessity of loading the program from
the escargotesque Commodore disk
drive.
Pagefox is not a single program,
but like all other desktop publishing
programs, it contains several mod-
ules, including a good monochrome
graphics package, a text editor, and a
formatter that can integrate graphics
and automatically format text into
columns.
A Professional Look
If you're really a fan of desktop pub-
lishing on the 64, Scanntronik offers
two other options that have the poten-
tial of making your efforts look pro-
fessional: a hand scanner and a
character editor, known respectively
as Handyscanner 64 and Character
Fox.
A scanner is a device that can im-
port text and graphics directly into a
computer. It’s different from a digitiz-
er like ComputerEyes in that it does
not require a camera. It is used pri-
marily for importing two-dimensional
images, while a digitizer can be used
with three-dimensional subjects.
A hand scanner is not used to
scan hands, as one person suggested,
though it could be used for
that. It’s called a hand scan-
ner because it’s small enough
to fit in a person’s hand. Most
professional-level scanning
units look like photocopiers
or fax machines. They generally
take up a lot of desk space and
scan whole pages at a time. A
hand scanner is about twice as
big as a mouse. It’s perfect for
use with the 64 because it will
only scan an image about four
inches wide and a few inches
high—which quickly fills all
available memory in the 64.
Larger images can be scanned
by reducing the scanner’s
sensitivity, but these images
are usually unrecognizable.
The hand scanner and
character editor will be dis-

cussed later. For now let’s look closely
at Pagefox.
Design a Page
To be blunt, when I sat down with
Pagefox, I didn’t find it as intuitive as
geoPublish, but with a little practice, I
found I could accomplish some of the

GRAPH, CHECK THE RESULTS, AND
THEN PRINT IT.

same tricks while avoiding the over-
head of loading GEOS. Pagefox occu-
pies a middle range between geo-
Publish and Outrageous Pages,
another page-formatting program
that, despite its capabilities, actually
lived up to its name by outraging
many of its users and was quickly
withrawn from the market.
One of the things that made Out-
rageous Pages difficult to use was its
idiosyncratic user interface. Pagefox
also takes a tremendous risk by asking
users to forget everything they know
about operating system interfaces and
start learning a new one. It’s more
than some people can bear. In my
opinion, now that GEOS is widely
used, programmers should turn to it
and stop reinventing the wheel. Every
new program shouldn’t require
reeducation.
On the other hand, Pagefox
didn’t just suddenly appear, as did
Outrageous Pages. The heart of the
program was available in different
German versions known as Printfox
and Hi-Eddi, so the designer has had a
chance to shake out the bugs in the
European market. In this latest ver-
sion, the operation is fairly smooth. In
fact, many of my criticisms of Pagefox
have to do with its incomplete transla-
tion from the German version. This
will be covered later.
Pagefox, true to its name, is
geared for designing the single page.
It’s capable of chaining multiple pages
at print time, but each page is discrete.
There’s no way to flow text from a
column on one page to a column on
another without creating discrete text
files.
Pagefox contains a complete text
editor, though it can only work with
files of up to 9000 characters. The rea-
son is, as the manual points out,
“More than 9000 characters you
won’t get on one page.” (The page size
is 640 X 800 pixels—enough to fill a
standard sheet of paper.)
The text editor sports
search-and-replace. The
search-and-replace sup-
ports wildcards, identified
as jokers in the manual.
There’s no insert mode;
the text editor is locked
permanently in overwrite
mode. The delete key is a
true delete key, like on the
PC. It draws in characters
from the right of the cursor
and deletes them. The f7
key is used as a backspace/
delete key, erasing charac-
ters from the cursor to
the left.
Pagefox also features
a Caps Lock key similar
to that found on the PC

keyboard. The program accepts im-
ported text in ASCII, PetASCII, and
screen code format as used by Speed-
Script. If your word processor sup-
ports any of these formats, you won’t
need to use Pagefox’s text editor for
your text.
The program provides good-look-
ing close quotation marks (””), but it has
no way to enter open quotation marks
(“). Where you might expect to find
open quotation marks, you will find
close ones lowered to the baseline.
Pagefox can do some limited hy-
phenation, though the manual is un-
clear on this point. Evidently, if you
want a hyphen to appear in the mid-
dle of a word, you must capitalize the
letter before which the hyphen may
fall. When the word is printed out, the
capitalization is removed and, if the
word falls in the hyphenation range at
the right margin, it will be broken ac-
cording to your wishes. There is an-
other method, using a dictionary-style
hyphenation and embedded codes,
that doesn’t appear to be as reliable as
inserting capital letters at paragraph
breaks. The manual states in more
than one place that the automatic hy-
phenation is based on German gram-
mar, so if you happen to be writing in
some other language, hyphenation (or
“syllabification”) may not work.
Translate That Again
To do the program justice, the manual
needs to be translated into real Eng-
lish instead of the pidgin English in
which the German translator left it:
“But even with all these simplifica-
tions you won’t be able to control
whithin [sic] minutes such a complex
and effecient [sic] program like the
Pagefox. Especially as a beginner for
DTP you will need a few hours time
to become well acquainted with the
different program parts, before you
are able to print out your first preten-
tious work.”
Any of us who have read the in-
structions provided with Pacific Rim
stereos, watches, and calculators can
follow the meaning of this kind of
text, though the awkwardness and id-
iosyncrasies of the translation will
probably make the user smile for a
while. Then, the user begins to go
crazy. The effect of reading page after
page of text that ignores syntax and is
ignorant of the English idiom is like
having your skull half-full of ginger ale.
Desktop publishing is so compli-
cated, even at its simplest, that a
friendly, lucid manual is a minimum
requirement. (That’s another reason
for my preference for geoPublish.) In
the words of the manual, “This is es-
pecially with the C 64 are not so
easy... .”
G10 COMPUTE
DECEMBER
A Foxy Editor
Character Fox is a character/font edi-
tor. It contains an editing field famil-
iar to those who have worked with
sprite and character editors. Its man-
ual is written in an interesting way:
The author takes on the persona of
the program, explaining its actions as
if they were his own.
Character Fox can work with im-
ages scanned with the hand scanner
(described below), allowing you to im-
port text from a book, magazine, or
clip-art collection, modifying it into
your own typeface. This one capabili-
ty is enough to recommend it. I only
wish the creator of these programs
had made them GEOS-compatible so
the fonts would be applicable beyond
the world of Pagefox.
Handyscanner 64
As mentioned earlier, scanning is a
method for bringing real-world art
and text directly into the computer.
There are three basic types of scan-
ning equipment: a flat-bed scanner
that resembles a photocopy machine,
a page-fed scanner that resembles a
fax machine, and a hand-scanner that
resembles a mouse with a severe thy-
roid condition.
The Handyscanner 64 allows you
to scan small images. It operates with
software that closely resembies the
graphics part of Pagefox. The scanner
itself emits a greenish light from a
bank of LEDs (Light-Emitting Di-
odes). When you press the scan but-
ton on top of the scanner, the lights
become a little brighter. Since these
LEDs would represent a significant
power drain ona 64’s power supply,
the scanner comes with its own power
transformer. The scanner attaches to
the user port of the 64 with a small
interface device, into which you
also plug the power cord from the
transformer.
With the power cords from your
computer, disk drive, monitor, print-
er, and hand scanner, you should
think seriously about investing in a
multioutlet surge-protector power
strip, if not rewiring your computer
room to provide a dozen outlets at
your desk.
The scanner can be set to scan in
pure black-and-white with no attempt
at shading, or to provide one of three
1990
levels of dithered shading. Dithering
is a technique of approximating a
shade of gray by placing random dots
in the area. A darker area has more
dots; a brighter area, fewer dots.
In addition, Handyscanner pro-
vides you with separate brightness
and contrast adjustments. Unlike
many hand scanners, the scanner it-
self offers no dot-per-inch setting.
This is set through the software. You
can set any sensitivity between 33 and
300 dots per inch (dpi), but any sensi-
tivity less than 200 dpi will provide a
very poor scan.
The Handyscanner provides a
simple, handy way to import real-
world images into the 64. I was skepti-
cal that the Commodore’s graphics
capabilities were up to handling
scanned images. I work a great deal
with scanned images on the PC. They
take up a lot of disk space and are
time-consuming to manipulate. Fur-
thermore, a hand scanner is tricky;
you have to pull it down the page at a
perfectly uniform speed and in a per-
fectly straight line to prevent distor-
tion. To my surprise, Handyscanner
provided consistently good scans de-
spite my shaky hands and a sticky
scanning surface. The hardware must
cope with minor inconsistencies bet-
ter than the Logitech scanner I am ac-
customed to using.
The software associated with the
Handyscanner compresses the images
efficiently, although interpreting the
scanned image and bringing it up on
the screen take several seconds.
Conclusions
When I bought my 64, my plan was to
use its graphics and text-editing abili-
ties to save myself the labor of end-
lessly recreating graphics and rewrit-
ing text. It worked better than I had
imagined. If I had also been able to
bring real-world images into the ma-
chine, I would have been ecstatic. The
foundation of the value of Pagefox, in
my estimation, is the Handyscanner.
Other, better, alternatives exist in
word processing, graphics, and desk-
top publishing than Pagefox. But, as
far as I know, only one scanning alter-
native is available for the 64—the
Handyscanner—and, since it only
works with Pagefox and Character
Fox, it makes these products worth
having as adjuncts to its power. a

Tass MPSS OLN
his month I’ve compiled some
reader tips that are sure to catch
your attention. I like to call them
dazzlers because of their flashy,
graphic appeal. Try a few and see
what you think.
Flash!
After running the following program,
all shifted characters displayed on the
64’s screen flash wildly. By taking ad-
vantage of the computer’s extended
color background mode, this machine
language routine toggles the charac-
ters’ background colors, making the
letters appear to flicker and glow.

You can change the speed at
which the letters flash by POKEing a
value 0-255 into memory location
251 after running the program. The
lower the value, the faster the charac-
ters flash—except in the case of the
value 0, which is the s/owest setting
possible (1 is the fastest).
To change the background color
of the flashing characters, POKE two
different color values into locations
252 and 253. The machine language
routine will alternate between these
two colors to create the flashing effect.
You can easily disable the flash-
ing by turning off extended back-
ground color mode. Turn it off with
POKE 53265,PEEK(53265) AND
191. If you want the effect to run
again, turn it back on with POKE
53265,PEEK (53265) OR 64.

character’s screen code until all of the
characters turn into spaces. It’s an
eye-catching way to remove infor-
mation from the screen, and it works
with the 64 and the 128 in 40-column
mode.

After you’ve run the program, ex-
ecute SYS 4864 to clear the screen.
For the best results, get a bunch of
characters on the screen first. For such
a simple concept, the effect is really
quite impressive.
By default, this program stores its
screen-clearing machine language rou-
tine in memory at 4864-4913. By
changing the value assigned to AD in
line 10, you can move the routine to
any 50-byte area of free memory. Just
remember to change your SYS state-
ments to reflect this change. For ex-
ample, if you move the routine into
the 64’s cassette buffer located at 828,
you must enter SYS 828 to invoke the
screen scrambler.

128 Screen Split
For an interesting example of scrolling
the 128’s split graphics screen, type in
and run the following demo program.
Don’t clear the graphics screen before
you run the program. In fact, it’s best
if you turn the computer off and then
on again before entering the listing.

This program opens a hi-res
graphics screen and smoothly scrolls it
down over the text screen and back up
again. It does this by altering memory
location 2612. This location holds the
raster number used by the interrupt
routine that controls the GRAPHIC 2

BEGINNER BASIC
L A RR Y
(Cos Ol aie lee OneN
appy holidays! In the past few
months, we sharpened our
BASIC skills with a program that
demonstrated how to create and
control a sprite, or Movable Object
Block. The 64 is not restricted to a sin-
gle sprite, however; it can simulta-
neously maneuver up to eight sprites
in BASIC.
When dealing with more than
one sprite, things get a bit more com-
plicated. Before we actually create
some sprites in shapes that are appro-
priate for the season, here’s what we
have to do:
* Create shape data for the sprites.
¢ Tell the computer where to look for
the data.
¢ Locate the sprites horizontally and
vertically.
¢ Determine their sizes.
« Assign them one or more colors.
¢ Turn them on.
Last month’s program contained
63 pieces of data which defined our
single sprite’s shape. For each addi-
tional sprite shape, 63 more pieces of
data are required to be POKEd into
memory registers.
In addition, you must tell the
computer where to look for the data.
Memory registers 2040-2047 are the
eight sprite data pointers; they tell the
computer in which memory registers
the sprite shape data can be found.
When we located sprite 0’s shape-
defining data from 12288 to 12350,
we POKEd 2040 with 192. The sprite
data pointers and their corresponding
data locations are detailed below.
Sprite Data Pointer Value Data At
0 2040 192 12288-12350
1 2041 193 12352-12414
2 2042 194 12416-12478
3 2043 195 12480-12542
4 2044 196 12544-12606
5 2045 197 12608-12670
6 2046 198 12672-12734
7 2047 199 12736-12798
Each sprite doesn’t need unique
data; one may share the data of anoth-
er. If you want, say, sprite 7 to have
the same shape as sprite 0, you would
POKE 2047 with 192.
When you’re working with three
sprites or fewer, there are other popu-
lar locations in which to put sprite
shape data. When you use them, the
same pointers are used, but different
values are POKEd there.

you an understanding of how to han-
dle more than one sprite. Be sure to
save lines 10-90 because we'll add to
them next month. First clear the
screen and color the screen white:
10 PRINTCHR$(147):POKE53280,
1:POKES53281,1
Next, because we'll use sound
with our sprites (since the 64 is so mu-
sically gifted, I almost always include
sound in my programs), we must clear
the sound-producing chip and set the
maximum volume, envelope, and a
frequency for voice 3. These have
been discussed in previous columns.

Because we're using only one
sprite shape (I won’t tell you what it is
yet), we can point all eight data point-
ers to the same data (from 12288 to
12350).

Define constants:

V1=54276:VF =54273:M=79
V is the important first memory regis-
ter of the 64’s sprite-controlling chip.
Many other registers will be addressed
as an offset of V. X and Y are the
starting horizontal and vertical coor-
dinates for all eight sprites. V1 and VF
are voice 1’s control and high-
frequency registers, respectively.
We'll stop here for this month.
Next month I'll explain M and K and
finish the program.
Now, you may recall that way
back in March I challenged you to
send me some examples of programs
that use NOT. Thinking that the mail-
box wouldn’t yield many responses, I
shrugged off NOT as a keyword of
minimal interest.
I was wrong. Apparently, there
G14 COMPUTE

BEGINNER BASIC
are those of you who actually use NOT in your BASIC
programming. Several people wrote to explain how they
use the NOT statement in various ways. Thanks for the
feedback, which I always welcome.
Walt Schumacher, a computer teacher at St. Ferdi-
nand School in Florissant, Missouri, sent in perhaps the
clearest and best documented use of the NOT logical oper-
ator. He writes:
“My use of NOT stems from seeing its real-world
analogy: the ON/ OFF push button. To utilize this func-
tion, one must be aware that on Commodore machines, 0
stands for false, and —1 stands for true. I used this feature
recently to toggle between upper- and lowercase for a key-
board practice program.”
Here’s a slightly revised version of Walt’s program.
10 BIG=0:CASE=53272: UP=21:DOWN=23
20 PRINT CHR$(147)
30 FOR T=1 TO 11:PRINT:NEXT
40 PRINT TAB(10)“WATCH THIS MESSAGE!
150 BIG=NOT BIG:REM TOGGLE
160 IF BIG THEN POKE CASE, UP
170 IF NOT BIG THEN POKE CASE, DOWN
180 FOR DELAY =1 TO 400:NEXT
190 GOTO 150
Line 10 defines the variable BIG and the constants
CASE, UP, and DOWN. In the 64 and 128, memory regis-
ter 53272 controls, among other things, whether your
monitor or TV screen displays upper- or lowercase letter-
ing. POKEing 21 (UP) or 23 (DOWN) to that register de-
termines whether the computer prints in upper- or
lowercase, respectively.
Lines 20-40 clear the screen, center the cursor verti-
cally on the screen, and print a message.
Line 150 contains the ON/OFF toggle switch. BIG
takes turns having the value 0 or —1. If BIG is 0, for in-
stance, NOT BIG changes it to — 1, and vice versa.
Lines 160 and 170 evaluate BIG and alternately POKE
53272 with either 21 or 23. If BIG=0, the message switch-
es to lowercase; if BIG=— 1, the message switches to up-
percase. Thanks, Walt, for shedding more light on NOT. 8

ight years ago I wrote a column
in COMPUTE! magazine detail-
ing how people could program
their own “computer friends”
inside their home computers. A com-
puter friend was a program written in
BASIC. When the program began run-
ning, the friend would come to life in-
side your computer and have a
conversation with you. You could
name the friend, teach it your name,
and give it personality traits, special
interests, and lovable quirks. You
could even program the friend to tell
your favorite jokes.
The idea for a computer friend
came from my habit of naming my
cars. Over the years I have gone
through several cars, each with its
own name (like George, Eric the Or-
ange, Mishy Kiku, and Peppy) and
each with its unique personality. I be-
gan thinking that if cars could have
names and personalities, then so
could computers. You can decorate
your car and give it a personality all
its own, so you should be able to pro-
gram a computer to act as your friend.
I was also inspired by a famous
artificial intelligence (AI) program
called Eliza written by MIT computer
scientist Joseph Weizenbaum. When
you sat down at the computer, Eliza
would act like a psychoanalyst trying
to get to know a new patient. The ses-
sion would start with Eliza’s asking
you some friendly questions, such as
What is your name? and Do you have
any brothers or sisters?
You would type in answers, and
Eliza’s questions would start getting
more and more personal. Before you
knew it, you would be telling “her” all
sorts of extremely private things, such
as how you felt about your mother
and father, if you had ever been mean
to your cat, and other secrets. Even
world-famous computer scientists
would sit down and begin chatting
with Eliza, telling her embarrassing
personal tidbits that they wouldn’t
dare share with another human being.
In my column I challenged
COMPUTEY''s readers to invent their
own computer friends. The readers”
response was unbelievable. I received
hundreds of letters and over five doz-
en disks in the mail, each with its own
customized “Friend” program written
in BASIC and each with its own spe-
cial design. Many of the programs
printed out a picture of the computer
friend. Some of the computer friends
were good at reciting poetry, puns,
and odd bits of trivia. Others had a
special knowledge of comic-book he-
roes, offbeat movies, science-fiction
books, and rock music.
Each time I ran one of the read-
ers’ friend programs, I felt I was meet-
ing a new person, and in a funny way I
knew that the friend was a reflection
MAKING FIRIENDS
WITH
COMPUTER
AGENTS
of the human who invented it (just as
my cars were a fun house-mirror re-
flection of me). I came to think of the
computer friends as if they were side-
kicks of their inventors, like the dum-
my Charlie McCarthy and his creator
Edgar Bergen or Kermit the Frog and
Jim Henson.
I wrote several columns featuring
many of the best computer friends
that readers sent in. Interest in com-
puter friends was high for many
months, but eventually it faded.
Recently a new type of computer
friend has become popular. These
new friends are called agents. An
agent is a program, as the computer
friend was. Its job is to “live” inside
your computer. Whenever the com-
puter is turned on, the computer agent
does special chores for you.
What chores does an agent do? t |
can automatically sign onto your on-
line information services and bulletin
boards and assemble a personalized
electronic newspaper for you out of
news stories and data it has collected
overnight, concerning topics especial-
ly interesting to you. It can print out
this newspaper, and you can read it at
the breakfast table before you leave
for school or work.
What else can an agent do? If
your computer were wired into some
household appliances, your agent
could do things like shut the house
lights off and on when you wanted,
start coffee brewing in the morning, or
turn on the VCR and TV whenever
your favorite program came on. It
could play your stereo system, print
out messages to remind you of your
best friends’ birthdays, and even play
games with you.
Thanks to the growing popularity
of agents, it’s time to take another
look at computer friends. What kind
of agent or friend would you invent?
Would your agent have human char-
acteristics, or would it resemble an an-
imal, a robot, an alien, or something
completely different? What sorts of
tasks would you assign to your agent?
What machines would it control for
you? Would your agent have a name?
A fictitious past? Some favorite com-
puter jokes? Would your agent be reli-
able and trustworthy? Or fickle and
unpredictable? Would it be fun-loving
and a practical joker or an awful nag?
Please send me your ideas. I’ll
gather a few of the best ideas and pub-
lish them in one of my upcoming col-
umns. Mail your letter to Fred
D’Ignazio, COMPUTE Publications,
324 West Wendover Avenue, Greens-
boro, North Carolina 27408.
Meanwhile, be on the lookout for
real computer agents living inside
your machine. According to software
publishers, agents will be designed
into most of the new computer pro-
grams reaching the market in the fu-
ture. When you buy a piece of
software, you'll get a free, built-in
agent along with it! ic}

nits favor, the Commodore 128
comes with a built-in machine
language monitor (MLM) with
many attractive features. Ifa
program crashes, just hold down the
Run key and press the reset button.
The computer will recover into the
MLM so you can investigate the cause
of the problem. The BASIC SYS com-
mand allows values to be preset for
the A, X, Y, and status registers.
BLOAD and BSAVE are big BASIC
improvements.
On the negative side, 128 BASIC
can relocate. Also, special code and
new system calls are needed to reach
data or a subroutine across banks. The
interrupt has so many jobs—such as
graphics, animation, and sound—that
it’s easy for new code to conflict with
built-in operations.
The bank system makes it hard to
put code higher than location $3FFF.
Beginners are advised to place ML
programs below $4000 and stay in
bank 15, That way, you can SYS to
the ML program from BASIC and use
a JSR to call subroutines in the
Kernal.
What happens if you try to put
code at higher addresses? Suppose you
wish to locate a program at $6000.
The trouble is that, if BASIC stays in
its normal bank 15 state, a call to
$6000 (SYS 24576) wouldn’t take
your program to RAM but to the
overlaying ROM containing the
BASIC interpreter. Bank 15 config-
ures RAM from $0000 to $3FFF,
ROM from $4000 to $CFFF, I/O
chips from $D000 to $DFFF, and
ROM from $E000 to $FFFF. The
program at $6000 wouldn’t be
visible.
The obvious solution—enter the
command BANK 0 before the SYS
call—usually ends in disaster. The
SYS gets to your program, but when
your program calls a Kernal routine
such as BSOUT at $FFD2 for print-
ing, the ROM’s gone! Instead, the pro-
gram arrives at empty RAM in Bank
0 and gets lost. Even if you somehow
transfer valid program code into that
area, you can’t achieve output since
the I/O chips are no longer accessible.
What you need is a configuration
that will give you RAM from $0000 to
$BFFF, Kernal ROM from $C000 to
$CFFF and $E000 to $FFFF, and I/O
chips in the $D000 to $DFFF slot. No
bank number gives you this; bank 12
is sometimes used to produce a simi-
lar effect, but it’s not the best way.
You can produce the desired con-
figuration by a direct store to address
$FFOO0; a value of decimal 14 stored
there will do the job. But you can’t do
that from BASIC. That powerful
POKE to address $FF00 would make
the BASIC interpreter itself disappear!
THE 128 MLM:
ON IT
The solution is to use BASIC to
select BANK 0 to make your program
visible so you can SYS to it. Once the
program starts, it puts $0E into ad-
dress $FF00, reconfiguring to the de-
sired map. It’s a good idea to restore
the configuration to Bank 0 just
before the program returns to BASIC,
so BASIC will be there waiting when
control is returned to it, thus prevent-
ing a crash. Bank 0 can be restored by
storing $3F into $FFOO.
Here’s a simple 128 program to
print HELLO! to the screen just to
show how a program may be posi-
tioned above the $4000 barrier.
BASIC will have set up BANK 0
before the call to $6000 (the program’s
location). The program’s first task is
to make sure the Kernal ROM and
I/O chips are accessible.
6000 LDA #$0E
6002 STA $FF00
6005 LDX #$00
6007 LDA $6018,X
600A JSR $FFD2
600D INX
600E CPX #$07
6010 BNE $6007
;“special” config
The string HELLO}, followed by
a carriage return, is printed from a
buffer to be established at $6018. Now
restore the original configuration
(bank 0, value $3F in $FFO0).
6012 LDA #$3F
6014 STA $FF00
srestore config
3 (“BANK 0”)
You return to BASIC with the
RTS command. It seems a little odd
that you can go back to BASIC when
the Bank 0 configuration has switched
out the BASIC interpreter. Don’t wor-
ry. The mechanism of the SYS call
takes care of all the bank arrangements.
6017 RTS
The text to be printed (“HELLO”)
must be stored in memory.
6018 48 45 4C 4C 4F 21 0D 00
It takes a while to get used to the
architecture of the 128, but with care-
ful planning it all works well.
You could enter the program
using the built-in monitor, but here’s
a BASIC program to do the job.

It POKEs a few numbers into memo-
ry and then SYSs to an address. When
Irun it, it loads a program into a se-
lected memory area.
I’ve seen programs similar to this
one in other magazines. Could you ex-
plain to me the principles behind this
program and how it might be used?
JERRY HALLETT
STOCKTON, NY
The program uses the Kernal
LOAD routine to load a file begin-
ning at a specific address. The three
POKES in line 10 set the logical file
number, secondary address, and de-
vice number as you would for an
OPEN command. (The equivalent
OPEN command would be OPEN
2,8,0.) Lines 20 and 30 request the
filename and the file’s starting ad-
dress from the user. The first POKE
in line 40 sets the length of the
filename, and the other two repre-
sent the address (512) of the file-
name in low-byte/high-byte format.
Line 50 actually stores the filename
in locations 512-527.
Line 60 sets the 6502's registers
to prepare for calling the Kernal
LOAD routine. The first POKE sets
the accumulator to 0 to tell the rou-
tine to perform a load. (Placing a 0
in the accumulator would cause the
routine to verify.) The next two
POKEs store the low and high bytes
of the starting address into the X
and Y registers, respectively. Line
70 calls the Kernal routine and then
checks for an error after it has
returned.
You didn’t mention a save rou-
tine in your letter, but we've includ-
ed one to demonstrate how to call
the Kernal’s SAVE routine from
BASIC.

Line 10 inputs the filename
from the user and attempts to open
it. Line 20 checks to see whether the
open was successful. Lines 30 and
40 get the starting and ending ad-
dresses for the file from the user.
Line 50 sets a pointer to the starting
address while line 60 sets the pointer
to the ending address and calls the
routine. Line 70 closes the file afier
the save.
Big CPU in the Sky
In your recent article “Into the Crystal
Ball” (June 1990), many people
blamed software companies or the
market for the declining interest in the
64. They blamed everything except
what’s really wrong. It’s hardware, not
software or the market. The main
problem is that the 64 isn’t attractive
anymore. The 64 has already died and
gone to the big CPU in the sky.
I’ve had a 64 for close to ten
years, but it lacks hardware capabili-
ties. It should be taken into the factory
and given a total overhaul, When it
comes out, it should have 256K of
ROM, an operating system that takes
up minimal space in memory, a faster
CPU, 64K or 128K of video RAM, a
ramdisk, and a built-in program that
would still let it run conventional 64
software.
It may sound like I have MS-
DOS in mind, but the 64 has to have
some sort of hardware enhancement
and a true operating system.

No Joy
Iam writing out of sheer frustration
regarding your MLX program. I have
tried to enter this program with and
without The Automatic Proofreader,
and in both instances line 130 gives
no joy. Please help!
It is also noted that The Automat-
ic Proofreader program printed in my
December 1989 Gazette is different
from the ones printed after. I have
tried to load both, and only the De-
cember one works. The big question
is, is it me or my overgrown
calculator?
ALAN CULPH
MOOROOLBARK, VIC.
AUSTRALIA
Alan, we checked line 130 of MLX
with several versions of The Auto-
matic Proofreader, and we got the
correct checksum with all of them.
The handwritten sample you pro-
vided was missing an equal sign
after the L$, but we have no way of
knowing whether it was absent from
your typed-in version or not.
Line 130 does contain several
points for possible confusion. Where
it says S$=“ ”, there is one space
between the quotation marks. It is
typed by pressing the quote key, the
space bar, and then the quote key
again. Where it says T$=“{13
RIGHT}”, press the quote key and
then tap the right Crsr key 13 times
before pressing the quote key again.
If you press the space bar 13 times,
the final result may be the same but
your checksum will be different. Be
sure to read and familiarize yourself
with the instructions on how to type
in Gazette programs. >

More about SpeedScript
I am wondering if there will be any /28 SpeedScript en-
hancements in the future. This has been the best word
processor that I have ever used. Simple, but it gets the job
done. One program I'd like to see is one that would let me
use SpeedScript 128 with my second disk drive as the data
disk and have the necessary POKEs to accomplish this.
Also, I would like to have a program that would alphabet-
ize the 128 SpeedCheck files. I have done this by hand,
and it tends to make the spelling checker run a little faster.
I'd like the spelling checker accessed by using Ctrl-C. The
word under the cursor could be checked with the main
program in drive 8.
I enjoy the new format for your magazine, and I’m
looking forward to each new issue. I was afraid your mag-
azine would stop the articles on the 8-bit machines. Many
people and I think there’s a place for a small machine in
this world. I'll be watching the pages of Gazette for any re-
sponse to the ideas I have proposed.

Thanks for the kind words, Robert. Over the years we’ve
been able to add a number of utilities to SpeedScript to
make it even more useful to our readers. A few of those
enhancements have come from our staff, but most of
them have come as submissions from our readers. By

EPROM Primer
Iam interested in EPROM program-
ming using the 64. I want to know
how to manage the memory ofa 16-
kilobyte or larger EPROM. I’ve seen
this done on cartridges.
MATTHEW HUDSON
DORAN, VA
The EPROM (Erasable Program-
mable Read Only Memory) chip is
a powerful tool in the programmer's
arsenal. These chips hold your own
programs or code on a cartridge.
They can even be used as custom
replacements for standard chips
that come with the computer.
EPROMs come in several ca-
pacities, usually in multiples of 4K
(16 CBM disk blocks). The hard-
ware required for customizing and
using them is relatively inexpensive
and easy to use. It consists mainly
of an “‘eraser,” for reinitializing
EPROMs during the process of pro-
gram development, and a “‘burner,””
or programmer for putting your
code into the chips.
There's a wide variety of car-
tridge formats for the 64. Some car-
tridge boards are little more than
ROM/EPROM sockets on a plug-in
card, while others are sophisticated
enough to have their own logic ele-
ments. The possibilities vary widely.
For more information about
EPROM and cartridge availability
and price, as well as devices such as
EPROM erasers and burners, write

Street, San Jose, California 95112.
A Little Help
Several years ago our school pur-
chased six Microlllustrator light pens
and disks produced by Tech Sketch.
Recently, the pens have started to mal-
function, and I would like to purchase
replacements. Unfortunately, mail to
this company has been returned, and
no one seems to stock these pens.
I tried the Flexidraw light pens,
but they didn’t seem to work with the
Microlllustrator program.
Does anyone know who repairs
these pens? Does anyone have an old
one he or she would like to donate to
a school? If you have a new one, I
would buy it for a reasonable price.

ut on your armor and sharpen
your sword! The black knight
has stolen the king’s crown, and
it’s up to you to get it back, It
won't be easy. To solve this intricate
puzzle, you must find your way
through six castles, 16 rooms, and
more than 50 maze screens.
Pick up keys to unlock castles,
but watch out! The black knight is
waiting for you inside one of them.
You must defeat him in order to re-
trieve the crown, but you're not safe
until you slay the dragons.
Getting Started
Crown Quest is written entirely in ma-
chine language, so you'll need to use
MLX, the machine language entry
program, to type it in. See “Typing
Aids” elsewhere in this section. When
MLX prompts you, respond with the
values given below.
Starting address: 0801
Ending address: 2058
When you've finished typing Crown
Quest, be sure to save a copy of the
program before exiting MLX.
Although Crown Quest is written
in machine language, it loads and runs
like a BASIC program. When you’re
ready to play, plug a joystick into port
2. Load the program and type RUN.
Crown Quest requires disk access, so
don’t remove the disk from the drive
until you've finished playing.
Playing the Game
In Crown Quest, you’re a knight of the
white castle. Your mission is to find
and return the king’s crown as quickly
as you can. When you run Crown
Quest, the program will search for a
file on the disk named CQ.TIMES. If
the file isn’t there, it will be written
automatically. This file is a record of
the best playing times of people who
have won the game. Once this file has
loaded, the title and the best times are
displayed.
Use the joystick to select one of
four versions of the game. Each ver-

dom, but the objects are located in dif-
ferent places. Game 1 is easiest; game
4, the most difficult.
Play begins with your knight
standing in front of the white castle,
where you must return the crown to
win the game. Control the knight with
the joystick and begin exploring. The
kingdom is connected by a series of
rooms with mazes between them.
Some of the mazes may be simple, but
they can be up to 12 screens large and
have many rooms connected to them.
CROWN
QUEST
EXPLORE A VAST
KINGDOM IN THIS
ACTION/ADVENTURE
GAME FOR THE 64.
JOYSTICK REQUIRE
Somewhere in the kingdom is a
toll bridge. Once you've crossed it,
you enter the realm of the black
knight, which consists of two chal-
lenging mazes, one room, and the
black castle.
There are nine different objects to
collect and use as you play Crown
Quest. These objects appear in the
lower left corner of the screen. You
press the fire button to pick up an ob-
ject, but you may carry only one item
at a time. You may not drop objects
when you're inside a maze. The object
you're currently carrying is displayed

the screen. Should you attempt to pick
up an object while you’re already car-
rying one, the two will be swapped.
You may find piles of gold worth
either 5 or 10 points. Your gold points
are displayed at the bottom of the
screen. You'll need 50 gold points
before you can pay to cross the black
knight’s toll bridge.
Other objects you may find are
castle keys, a sword, a magnet, and the
crown. You cannot enter a castle until
the gate is open. If the gate is closed,
you'll need to find a key that’s the
same color as the castle. The one ex-
ception is the white castle. Since it is
already open, you won't need a key to
enter it.
When exploring mazes, you may
come across dragons flying toward
you above the maze. If the dragon hits
you, you'll see a flash of bright light.
You can sustain only two or three hits
in one maze before you're struck
down, penalized two minutes, and
sent back to the white castle. If you
find the sword, you can defend your-
self against the dragon.
The Black Knight’s Lair
When you cross the toll bridge, 50
gold points will be taken, and you'll
enter a corridor that leads to the black
knight’s kingdom. Once inside the
black castle, you’ll come face to face
with the black knight himself. He
stands twice as tall as you, guarding
the entrance to a deep, dark, invisible
maze—his hiding place for the crown.
If you attempt to pass him without a
sword, you'll be struck by his mighty
fist and sent back to the white castle.
Your only hope is to carry your
sword, get a long running start, and
try to strike him down.
Once past the black knight, you
enter the most challenging maze of all.
You're surrounded in darkness, but
suddenly lightning illuminates the
path for an instant. You must find
your way through the maze using only
the lightning as your guide. When you
finally reach the crown, you'll see that
the black knight has hidden it inside

DISK
There's something new on the Ga-
Zette Disk. In addition to the type-in
programs found in each issue of the
magazine, we're putting more fea-
tures and programs every month on
the Gazette Disk. Check out the orig-
inal 64 and 128 artwork on display in
“Gazette Gallery,” and look for our
bonus programs as well. These pro-
grams and their instructions appear
only on disk. Here are descriptions of
this month's bonus programs.
AFK
Ben Campbell
AFK (Attack, Fire, Kill) is a two-player
shoot-'em-up written in machine lan-
guage. Players guide their attack
helicopters from a split-screen per-
spective through a maze of caverns
in this aerial game of hide-and-seek.
Sprite Grabber
Hubert Cross
Sprite Grabber allows you to grab
sprites and save them to disk as
BASIC data statements, assembly
language .BYT statements, or an
ML file.
Sprite Album
Hubert Cross
Sprite Album is a database for stor-
ing sprites you've collected. Besides
storing, you can edit and animate the
sprites, too.

he secret to making money on
the stock market is simple: Buy
low and sell high. The trick is
picking a stock whose value is
going to increase after you’ve bought
it. Here’s your chance to become a
Wall Street tycoon in this exciting
game for the 128 in 80-column mode.
Stock Market 128 is fast paced
and operates entirely from the key-
board or keypad. It requires no skill or
knowledge of the actual stock market
and will provide you with unlimited
hours of family entertainment.
Getting Started
Stock Market 128 is written entirely in
BASIC. To avoid typing errors, enter
the program using The Automatic
Proofreader. See “Typing Aids” else-
where in this section. When you’ve
finished typing, be sure to save a copy
of the program to disk.
Each player starts the game with
$5,000, and the object is to become a
millionaire before your opponent
does. Use this bankroll to buy stock
from any or all of six stock options
that are presented at the start of the
game.
Once the main screen appears,
the game, just like the actual stock
market, is active. Stock values are
moving up and down. When you’re
ready to make your purchases, press
either Return or the space bar. You’re
presented with the option to select
player 1 or 2. From there you have the
option to buy stock, sell stock, or re-
turn to the game.
Since you have no stock at the
start of the game, select the buy op-
tion. You’re then asked which stock
you wish to purchase. Choose by se-
lecting the number next to the stock’s
name. You're then asked how much
stock you want to buy. The program
tells you how many shares you can
purchase depending on the amount of
cash you have on hand. You may de-
cide on a diverse portfolio by spread-
ing your money over a number of
stocks, or you may invest heavily in
just a few.
Because of the instability of the
market, stocks can take devastating
crashes or make incredible gains in a
matter of seconds. You can buy or sell
stock at any time by pressing Return
or the space bar.
Dividends and bonuses are paid
to those who have the foresight to buy
into stocks whose worth rises to more

Ifa stock goes broke, all investors
lose the monies in that stock, and a
new commodity will take its position
on the board at a value of $50 per
share. Taxes are assessed every 200
updates, which is equivalent to one
year’s time. Uncle Sam wants 25
percent of the profits (including
dividends/bonuses) each year. Game
speed can be varied using the + or —
Deen GG. esha
keys, and it can be paused by pressing
the P key.
Ifa player’s total net worth de-
clines for three consecutive years, then
that player’s seat on the stock market
is sold. At that point, the game is over,
and the opponent is victorious.

engths of fuse have been laid out
in overlapping patterns on a
playing screen of movable tiles.
Your job, once the fuse has been
lit, is to join lengths of fuse in order to
keep the flame burning for as long as
possible
Like many other puzzles, Fuse
appears deceptively simple at the be-
ginning, but it grows in complexity as
the game progresses. You find that
quick thinking and careful planning
yield the highest scores.
Getting Started
Fuse is written entirely in machine
language, but it loads and runs asa
BASIC program. You'll need MLX,
the machine language entry program,
to type it in. See “Typing Aids” else-
where in this section. When MLX
prompts you, respond with the values
given below.

The object of Fuse is to keep the
flame burning for as long as possible.
Help the flame stay alive by moving
the tiles with the joystick. The longer
you manage to keep it going, the high-
er your score. The game ends when
the flame runs out of fuse or when it
reaches one of the borders.
Don’t wait until the flame is
about to run out of fuse to start mov-
ing. Look ahead and follow the fuse to
its end; then move to that area and
maneuver the tiles to create the long-
est possible path. You won’t be able to
keep it going forever, but the longer
you do, the more points you receive.
As the flame travels, the fuse is
burned up, leaving only a blank tile
behind. So you must continuously
shuffle the tiles around to keep the
flame lit.
Sometimes it’s a good idea to
make the flame change paths by wait-
ing beside a tile and moving that tile
when the flame is on it. You'll have to
be fast, though, because you'll lose if
the flame reaches the tile’s border
before the tile stops moving.

Matera cl... wlan) ain ae
ere’s a challenging and entertain-
ing game that pits you and an-
other player against each other.
The object is to see who can be
the first to move across a number of
squares to the opposing side of the
board first without getting electrocut-
ed. The problem is, which squares are
wired for you, which for your oppo-
nent, and which have no power at all?
Play High Voltage! and find out.
Typing It In
High Voltage! is written entirely in
BASIC. To avoid typing mistakes, use
The Automatic Proofreader to type it
in. See “Typing Aids” elsewhere in
this section. When you’ve finished,
save the program to disk.
High Voltage! may be played
from the keyboard or with a joystick
plugged into port 2. After you've load-
ed and run the program, a presenta-
tion screen will appear. Press any key
to start the game or press the fire but-
ton on the joystick. The computer will
take a few seconds to “wire” the board
(the board is different every time),
and then the game will begin.
Playing the Game
The object of High Voltage! is easy:
Get to the opposing side of the board
before your opponent does, The red
player (player 1) moves from the top
of the board to the bottom. The green
player (player 2) moves from the bot-
tom to the top.
The starting player is chosen at
random by the computer. The player’s
turn is displayed on the bottom right
of the screen. You may start from any
of the squares along the top or bottom
row, but you may move only on
squares that are your color. The prob-
lem is that you can’t tell what color a
square is until you select it by pressing
the fire button or hitting Return.
If you accidentally move onto a
square with your opponent’s color,
you get zapped and are returned to
your end of the board. You lose con-
trol of the game, and it becomes the
other player’s turn. If you fall on a
square that’s black (not wired at all),
you'll be returned to your previous
position and may try again. You may
land on up to three black squares,
after which control passes to the other
player. When you’re zapped back to
the start, you'll have to retrace your
steps. Observation and a good memo-
ry will help, as you’ll have to remem-
ber your steps along the board to be
able to retrace them later.
Movement is limited to one posi-
tion in any of eight directions and is
controlled by the cursor keys on the
keyboard or the joystick. To move to
a square, put the cursor on it and
press the fire button or press Return.
If it’s an invalid move, nothing will
happen. Otherwise, you'll see what
hides in that position.
HIGH
VOLTAGE!
CHALLENGE A
FRIEND TO THIS
SHOCKING TWO-
PLAVEIR GAME FOR
THE 64
The game ends when either play-
er has reached the other side of the
board. The computer will reveal the
board and announce the winner; you
may then play again by pressing any
key or the fire button.
If play gets to be too frustrating,
you can press f7 at any time to end the
current game without there being any
winners. The game board and all the
squares will then be displayed with
the correct path revealed. Play can
then be resumed.
Strategy
High Voltage! requires good memory
and careful observation as well as
luck. There will always be at least one
correct path to the other side of the
board, sometimes more. Pay attention
to your own moves and try to memo-
rize the moves you’re making. Also
watch what your opponent reveals.
His or her mistakes may help you
know the ending positions of your
own path on the board.
Watch out for booby traps. Some
paths may seem correct for two or
three moves, but there will be no way
out, making you lose valuable time
backtracking.

here are times when it would be
nice to print a word processor
file in something other than the
box you get from setting mar-
gins. For example, you might want to
print on letterhead or stationery with-
out running into the preprinted mat-
ter, leave space for photos or hand-
drawn illustrations, turn your notes
into 3 X 5 cards, or print the text of
your annual Christmas letter in the
shape of a Christmas tree.
This program is a convenient °
way for anyone who doesn’t own a
desktop publishing program yet may
want to publish a simple newsletter
and have text fit around a graphic or
photograph. You can place text in col-
umns, rectangles, or any other shape
that fits your requirements, preview it
on your monitor, and then have the
finished product roll off your printer.
Text Fitter lets you set text
boundaries for each line and then fill
these areas from standard Commo-
dore-ASCII sequential files. The
boundaries, or text-limit lines, are
drawn anywhere on an 80-column X
55-line page. Word-wrapped text is
placed between limit lines. You may
also save any text which has not been
placed in a “leftover” file. Text Fitter

MLX, the machine language entry
program for the 64 and 128, and The
Automatic Proofreader are utilities
that help you type in Gazette pro-
grams without making mistakes.
These labor-saving utilities are on
each Gazette Disk and printed in is-
sues of Gazette through June 1990.
If you don’t have access to a back
issue or to one of our disks, write and
we'll send you free copies of both of
these handy utilities, We'll also in-
clude instructions on how to type in
Gazette programs. Please enclose a

overs are saved and can be printed in
another custom page or printed nor-
mally with your word processor.
Getting Started
Text Fitter consists of a BASIC pro-
gram and machine language subrou-
tines. The BASIC program should be
entered with The Automatic Proof-
reader; the machine language pro-
gram, with MLX. See “Typing Aids”
elsewhere in this section. When MLXY
prompts you, respond with the values
given below.
Starting address: C000
Ending address: C808
Once you've finished entering the
data, save a copy to disk. The BASIC
program loads the machine language
program, so be sure to save the ML
program as FITTER.ML.
Using the Program
Before using Text Fitter, you must
create a source file. Any Commodore-
ASCII sequential file (like those pro-
duced by Easy Script or by printing a
file to disk with SpeedScript) is ac-
ceptable. Don’t include control char-
acters for underlining, italics, or the
